UEFN and UE5 devs, are you using Per Instance Custom Value, and Primitive Data Values to drive material parameters directly in the editor/and at runtime? I put a 5 minute rundown on how to make it work in UEFN UE5.5! Indiegamedev Optimizations www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9ik3Xq1Cz0 - ThreadSky

One issue I've encountered when investigating their usage, is that CPD just doesnt work with HLODs, since when using it in instanced layer, it just switched to 0 (and not even to a default specified in material). While ICD works with HLODs, but it works only with instanced meshes (as name suggests)

We wanted to use CPD/ICD materials on almost every mesh in the level since it would massively reduce amount of materials used. So it either would require some conversion method (CPD to ICD when building HLODs) or to make basically every mesh in the level instanced in an actor (tons of work for both)

Yes! ICD working in hlod instanced is good news, but ism vs hlod ism Is about the same thing. It’s a big shame that cpd doesn’t get converted automagically to icd

Per instance custom data vs custom primitive data !

What two great features.
I understood UEFN has the same features as the UE Editor, is that the case or you need to do a workaround to use them ?

Only a subset of options are enabled, so it’s a lot more of a hassle . New scripting language to do anything complicated or custom

Nice stuff!
